poor Debbie is stuck at the cabin with Cruddy weather.
I just back from the liqour store and the guy said that X rated fusion was going to be discontinued!?!?!?!?! I can't see it on the INTERNET but do you know anything about it>
I will die!!!!! I HOPE this is just at your liqueur store! Seriously....I don't drink and now I found a drink that I love.....so they can not discontinue it. I am pounding some now and all kidding aside I will have to go to Costco and drop a mint of cash to stock up on it if they discontinue it. How sad am I!

BTW Crappy *** day!
 
It might be here. But the other store that had it said something to that effect too. You came home early?

Btw my costco doesn't carry hard liquor. Very dissapointing

Tammie sorry aboutvthe carpet.
 
X Fusion???? WTH? I love it! That is my summer drink of choice!!!! I'll ask around here, too and if so, I'll be stocking up, too.

Had a good day yesterday but no cleaning. House is a wreck again. We just can't keep it clean at all. I've decided to hire a cleaning lady. Jeff will be mad at first but last time he got mad and then admitted that it was nice to come home to a clean house every other week, and it forces us to pick up the house the night before she comes and it also dramatically lowers our (MY) stress level.

We took Ally to a party at Sweet and Sassy yesterday, then ran to Home Depot, got some flowers, and some stuff to help organize the garage. Then went to the pool for a couple of hours, then played 9 holes of golf. I'm sore today.

It's now summer in FL. 80's every day and sunny. In fact, the extended forecast doesn't show any rain for the whole week. Not good though cause our water bill reflects it with all the watering we have to do.

Friday night we found a cute old house converted to a restaurant for dinner. We dropped Ally off at Kids Nite Out and went out with our friends. My dinner was so/so, but this place was so quaint that I couldn't really complain. Until I spotted MOLD on my cheesecake..... when I only had about 2 bites left! :scared1: Oh, well, guess I got my free dose of penicillin! :rotfl2:

Think Ally is gonna try out for swim team this summer. That should keep us hopping every Saturday for 3 months, plus practices. But I think it will help her a lot with her stroke.

Tammie - hope the party went well - and really hoping Mark gets the job finalized. I'm sure that will be tough for you but at the same time it will probably be the best thing for everyone, like you said.

Oh, and I"m so waiting for my washer/dryer to die so I can get the new uprights! We were just looking the the LGs at HD yesterdya - great price!!!! AND we were noticing how the fridges have dropped DRAMATICALLYin price since we got ours a year and a half ago. I wanted the split fridge with freezer drawers at bottom but to get the ice/water dispenser it was like $3200. No thank you. Yeah, now they're down about $1000 - still a lot for a fridge, but I hate ours. It is so small, especially the freezer - it's a side by side.

Tessa - so glad the piggies are still with us! Yes, we have foxes here - in fact, we think a fox killed a cat at our old house. Jeff woke up about 3am one morning to the sound of horrible screeching on our back porch. Next morning woke up and he said, "I think there's something dead out back." I asked him if he looked out to see what was going on the night before and he said, "no, Ithought it was a monster and it would get me...." :rotfl2: But sure enough, there was a dead cat in the yard. But no blood..... And only one small "chunk" found. So we're decided either a fox or a hawk got it and literally shook it to death.

Lorrie - can you believe this time next week you'll be there!!!! :yay: BTW, I like the second meeting Kara shirt.

You'll have your cell with you in Disney, right? Cause I've got you programmed in there.....

Jillian - are you surviving? Are they still there?

Cammie- where are you?

Debbie - l love shopping for Ally, too. I mentioned to my sister how hard it is to shop for boys and she likes it better than girls. But she's never been into cute styles, for herself or her kids, so when i was just up there I took my niece shopping. I got her a mini skirt, leggings, shoes, and two cute shirts to go with the outfit. She was in heaven! It's so hard to find cute "trendy" outfits for young girls that don't look slutty. I'm so shocked at what is in style and that they sell this stuff in such small sizes!!!!

Ran into our trainer at the pool yesterday - I won that free week of personal training with him so we're gonna get together after Disney. I want him to help me with my belly, and also some golf strengthening program. My hips and lower back are so sore from playing so much lately.

OK, off tocomplain about the messy house now, and not do anything. Lorrie, I'll call you later this week!
 
I'm here! :wave2:

The weather has just be too darn gorgeous this weekend - I've been out on the deck soaking up some sun. It's still beautiful - 70s and sunny, but I thought it's supposed to rain this afternoon. I have to run to the food store and Target; will be back on this afternoon. Hope to catch up before the girls come home at 5.
 

Good morning. I was up half the night due to the usual hormone stuff with AF. I just woke up again and I have a huge headache. I'm going to get some coffee and see if that helps.

Debbie, I never did try the XFusion, I drank the blue one a couple of times - I kept thinking I would. I guess I'd better try some before it's all gone.

Kara, nice your weather is so warm and sunny and you can plant flowers. My tulips and daffodils are blooming, but we don't plant before Mem Day, cuz it always freezes - it was 26 last night.

Cammie, enjoy the sunshine!

Laura, we don't have liquor in any of our grocery stores or convenience stores, either - just wine and beer.

Okay, gonna go get that coffee and update my TR.
 
They are still here in the good 'ole US of A but they are at my sister in laws. They have been AWFUL!!!!! It has been one fight after another. I cannot stand it. We had agreed to take Mike's aunt in (84yo) and she agreed to come and stay with us well now everything has changed because we said she will need all of her money. I guess now she has it split up between 5 different people. Well no one wants to fork over the cash so Mike said we can't afford it. Right now her scripts are about $400/month. I can't pay for that and quit my job so she said because everyone was making things so difficult she is going to "ROTT" in the nursing home. I feel like such a bumb. I can't stand all of the fighting that has come out of this. There is no need for her to be in a nursing home since she can stay with us, but I have decided to stay out of it!

Lorrie- Kara is a stick don't let her convince you otherwise, but she is a very nice stick :lmao:. No really she is great and so is Jeff and sweet little Ally. Be comfortable I was wearing our matching T shirts when we met because it was our AK day and I knew we would be getting soaked on KRR. Now as for dressing up for dinner I would go back to the hotel and shower and change because I felt better and could tour the parks longer also it gave Luca a chance to nap. :thumbsup2

Cammie- Let your countdown begin another Disney trip and this time alone. :cloud9: I would love to go alone. SIL and I are going to go next May together a quick 4 day trip she needs a break too. Loving this weather. I was out all day yesterday and only got a splash of color and none on my legs.

Tessa- I am glad the piggies are still alive I saw one the other day at the pet store and they are very cute. I am not sure what I was thinking of. LOL you will have to share a picture one day.

okay ERIN I missed what happened to poor CJ I am going to have to go back and check. I hope all is ok she is a love and you are a FANTASTIC mom I don't know how you do it all alone. I really think you and Cammie are amazing.:hug:

Jenn- Welcome. I am sorry it took me so long to say hello. The in laws are in from Italy and it is just throwing everything off. Feel free to jump right in say hello and if you have a question put it right here. We all know about being mom's wives etc.... :laundy:

Miss Debbie- How are you? I just bought Nips of Xfusion no mention of it going out here. I need help mixing it with something. I have Pineapple Vodka sprite fruit punch. Any ideas?
 
Jillian, Lindsays family is from Italy. This is what I've observed. They have a huge drama and lots of fighting about something, and say alot of things they don't mean, then they're all fine and loving again. I'm thinking after it all blows over, they'll calm down and work it out. Am I understanding that she doesn't have any money to pay for her meds, etc. and her children won't pay for them either? Is she aware enough to understand what is needed? There's so much emotion when figuring out how to care for elderly parents. You are a doll to agree to care for her.
 
Oh boy! That's a doozy! Good luck sorting that all out!

Erin - poor CJ - is she doing better now? Were you able to talk to her?

Erin, sorry about Chloe's scare. I hope she is doing better.

Thanks all .. thankfully she seems fine and has forgotten all about it so i decided to leave it for now, if anything is bothering her she will let me know i figure!!

Kara -
we get fifths over here too - also known as slapped cheek disease - guess what it looks like .......:rolleyes: can affect babes in the womb too if mum isn't immune, so not just a rash..

Oh Cj's had slap cheek a couple of times, she does seem to get odd things .. she had hand foot and mouth disease once, when the whole foot and mouth breakout happened here and i remember the doctor making sure i wasn't a thickhead and clarifying it wasn't the same thing .. duh!!!

okay ERIN I missed what happened to poor CJ I am going to have to go back and check. I hope all is ok she is a love and you are a FANTASTIC mom I don't know how you do it all alone. I really think you and Cammie are amazing.:hug:

Awww thanks Jillian that's so kind of you to say.
She is ok just had a scary night with her :scared1:
But all is well now .. thankyou :hug:
 
Ooh i've ben meaning to ask you guys this

Do you know which beach is the nicest and nearest to orlando?? We all fancy a beach day on the next trip, if the weather is good enough obviously
 
Erin - It depends what kind of beach you're looking for - do you want big waves and lots of action, i.e. restaurants on the beach, big hotels, etc. That would be Daytona or Cocoa Beach I think. If you want a slower pace, calm waters, then head to the gulf coast, Clearwater is the nearest I would think to Disney.

Jillian - I really feel for you. But I also agree that without some financial help, then you shouldn't do this. If she has already divided up her money, then you should get a monthly "allowance" from everyone who has gotten money from her. Since you've volunteered to let her stay with you, I would think that you absorb the extra daily living expenses - food, utilities, etc. But meds and anything directly related to her care should come from HER, and if she has already given it away, then it should come from those she gave to. Just my opinion.....

Aw, a nice stick, huh? More like a branch, maybe, but definitely not a stick! :rotfl2: I've got my swimsuit on now and all Ally could see was the straps and she said, "uh, you're NOT wearing your bikini, are you?" But it's my tankini top, she just couldn't tell. Nice, huh?

Jeff and I just got into a whopper!!!! Slamming doors, yelling, the whole ball of wax! All over household chores. So guess what? I TOLD him I'm getting a cleaning lady. That is the only thing we fight over. So it's done. End of story. Once we hired someone in SC, we never had that fight again.

Cammie - glad you've had a nice weekend - y'all deserve it up there! So, we need to start talking about our trip - it's so soon!!!! Honestly, I think I will only bring shorts and crocs, maybe flops, and simple T's. As long as you're not going back to shower, change and pretty up before dinner..... Are you doing any capris or anything special? I'd rather keep it simple. How does Ellen dress???

OK, new stress - SWINE FLU!!!!! I'm gonna pack extra anti bacterial gel for next weekend.... :sad2:
 
Yes, Kara - I was thinking about you last night. I heard on the radio that there are 3000 cases of swine flu in Mexico. The way to avoid it is lots of handwashing. :rolleyes1 How does Jamaica sound now?
 
Miss Debbie- How are you? I just bought Nips of Xfusion no mention of it going out here. I need help mixing it with something. I have Pineapple Vodka sprite fruit punch. Any ideas?
What's a Nip?
I drink mine with OJ and I also like it with frozen slushie pineapple juice or OJ. I have heard it tastes great with Sprite/7Up but haven't tried it yet.

Sorry about all the troubles with the in-laws. Very sad.

Cammie..I am glad the weather has been so good! Our SUCKED!!!! They still put the pier in but they are lucky they weren't struck by lightening! The good thing is that it is less than 2 hours away so you can come home easily.

Kara....if you think a cleaning lady is worth the cost then go for it!

I have a new plan. Every day I will conquer 1 to 2 piles/containers/bags....if I stick to it the place should be empty or at least clean in a month. You guys are allowed to drill me on this EVERY day (not weekends)

Tammie...congrats on the new appliances. That is always exciting!

Erin...I don't ever leave WDW property LOL! Sorry can't help ya out.

Hi Tessa! Good luck with the weigh in!
 
LAUREN IS MEETING THE JONAS BROTHERS!!!!!:banana::cool1::woohoo::yay::dance3::cheer2:

My friend just left me a message on my wall on Facebook - the meet & greet is a go! I"m so excited for Lauren! She's going to DIE!:lmao: I literally have tears in my eyes right now. I know I'm psycho but you know when something is a really big deal for your kid and you want it so bad? THAT'S how I feel right now! And I've got to admit - I'm feeling a little giddy for myself. That middle brother better watch out!:rolleyes1

No but seriously, I'm going to have to get this guy's PHONE NUMBER (damn - he's married!) Oh lordy! So my next dilemna - when to tell Lauren? We'll be debating this over the next few days. But, in the meantime.....................

GAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
 
:cool1:That is VERY exciting!!!!!!!!! :cool1:
Good things happen to good people! :goodvibes
I am always the pessimist though so I wouldn't say anything until those tix are in your hands! VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!:thumbsup2

:yay::yay::yay:YEAH FOR LAUREN :yay::yay::yay:

CAMMIE! THAT IS SO COOL!!!!!!!

Maybe you can surprise her, is it after a concert? You could ask if she wants to try to get back stage or something - I don't know.
 
Debbie, that sounds like a good idea for your clean up! I ordered a steam cleaner and I plan to start cleaning something grimy on each of the days I don't have parties or meetings. Do you want to be my accountability parterner?

Sounds good to me!

Hey...I need to take a pic but wait until you guys see the great Disney shirts I got!
 
Thanks Debbie and Tammie. I"m still freaking out. I literally got the message on FB about 10 minutes before the girls came home. I just have the biggest grin on my face right now.

So we'll meet them before the concert. And I have no doubts that it WILL happen. The JB bodyguard told my friend to give me his phone number so I can call him directly. (I'm just giddy about having a celebrity bodyguard's phone number!:blush:) My friend thinks I should wait and tell Lauren the day of the concert; that's what he did with his daughter and she just freaked and said it was the best surprise ever. But, on the flipside, I know how Lauren is now that she's 13. She's very into her appearance and something tells me that she would appreciate the heads up on meeting Nick Jonas. She might want to dress a little extra-special!:lovestruc And, of course, there's the small issue of me not being able to keep my big mouth shut!:rolleyes1

I really want to do the best thing here so I'll consider all opinions. If you guys really think I should wait until we get closer, I guess I'll seriously consider that.

Maybe. :rolleyes::rotfl:
 
I here ya it's just she is going to tell EVERYONE the minute she finds out and I think it would be better if she told everyone AFTER it happened. KWIM??? You could maybe tell here before hand but much closer. When are you going again? I mean it is a couple months away, right?
 
I agree with Debbie. Tell her when she's getting ready or something. Or at least call the bodyguard yourself and talk to him for yourself so you have all the details worked out. Make sure your camera batteries are charged up so we can all see what happens!:banana:
